I was down there this weekend and saw people on the BART who I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t see in Oregon.

The rich liberals hide in their enclaves, vote rat to assuage their guilt - and hope the government keeps the hoards at bay instead of coming after them, and meanwhile the ordinary citizen is left to deal with the misery caused by the bleeding hearts.

It likely started with the death of Ramon Ruano, who was gunned down in a parking lot. This was followed by another homicide of a man being stabbed to death, dropped off at an ER by persons unknown.

I truly doubt that gang members were holding a car wash to raise money for Ruano’s family. I’m guessing that they were friends of his, and they thought he was murdered by the gang whose colors the man with the dog was wearing.

Importantly, the dog owner is either highly stupid, or a gang member himself, for wearing gang colors in a gang neighborhood: “wearing a red sweater and a red Boston Red Sox hat”, which is gang wear of the Bloods gang.

You may be right. Gang bangers frequently put out signals of their affiliation, looking for counter-signs, friendly or enemy.

This can get bizarre, because they get so focused on this, they look for gang signs everywhere, even far out of their ‘hood, and from people who obviously are not gang bangers.

I got to examine this first hand, while in a good neighborhood far away from any gang area, driving with an elderly man. At the time I was wearing a cowboy hat and mirrored sunglasses. Leaving a grocery store parking lot, I asked him if we should turn right or left for our destination, and held up my hand to point in either direction. He held up his hand to point right.

Just then I noticed two gang banger types in a cruddy car, with colored bandanas on their heads, and a look of utter rage on their faces, vigorously making gang signs to try and attract my attention. Fortunately they were perpendicular to my route of travel, in such a way that it would have been difficult for them to maneuver their cruddy car back towards us, or even to take an effective shot if they had been armed.

Which would have been foolish, because at the time I had a sawed off shotgun holster with a side by side of 00 shot.

Anyone who understands dog breeding also understands that lack of "recognition" of a breed doesn't mean a particular type of dog doesn't exist. After all there is no such thing as a Japanese Spitz or a Rat Terrier, right?

It also doesn't mean that Yorkies cannot be selected and bred for small size, given a popular name and sold. Unscrupulous breeders exist for ANY breed that can sell dogs for money, so why should it be any different for unusually small Yorkies? I expect some do it right, and the buyers get what they paid for, and some don't.

Describing the hazards of owning and/or breeding small Yorkies doesn't nullify their existence either. You may just as well say that evil breeders have created a flat faced dog that is prone to eye problems... Don't buy it people! You are being taken! Don't shell out your money even if you like Pugs!

And BTW - the only reference cited by your author is: http://www.moonlightkennels.com/. Did you go there? I tried to; it either doesn't exist, or more likely is the site that states at the top of their web page: "We at Moonlight Kennels and Transport breed only Siberian Huskies". Why would anyone cite them on Yorkies?
